Meh.. shows like To Aru no Raildex get 3 seasons. While gem stones like these get only 13 episodes? Where is the love i saw back in 2000.

I'm not sure if it's totally fair to compare the two, but I'm basically with this.

And to the original question asker, don't forget that Angel Beats isn't just a 13 ep anime, it's also two manga and a light novel. Unlike usual, each isn't just another person's interpretation of one main source; the anime, manga, and novels all complement each other, and Maeda says the best way to get the most out of Angel Beats is to indulge in all three media branches. As a multimedia project, they're doing a little bit of everything, not mastering at everything. You either master one thing, or just be pretty good at a lot of things. Angel Beats is just dipping toes into many forms of storytelling.

Yes, that's why the SSS didn't stop her. In episode 1 she was planning to stop the guerrilla concert as part of her duties as student counsel president, whereas in episode 5 she was relieved of those duties and simply wanted to buy something to eat.

so if the students are dead high school students, then what about the teachers?

one more question, if they are already dead why do they need sleep, eat, etc?

I believe the teachers have been stated as being NPCs, like the majority of the students.
Also the mechanics of the afterlife are not necessarily set in stone, so any writer can decide whether it is freedom from physical needs or a simulation of life. So really, it's because the writer wanted them to.
